Why Father?

by KomBAT Kitten   Aug 23, 2009


He loves me, he loves me not
Did he love me? Or was it a thought?

Does he love me, the way that i dreamed?
Or was everything never the way that it seemed

I'm lost in confusion, with everything to lose.
Was it me and him, or him and the booze.

"So your sixteen now?" he asked as i teared
"You haven't been here for twelve of my years"

You haven't been a father for any of mine
So why should i be a daughter when you didn't take the time

I hung up the phone and sucked up my sadness
I kept it inside and forgot all the badness

Though it still shows up on my face when i cry
He picked booze over me, his daughter, why?

    In a way, I know what this feels like. This piece is relatable to a lot of people in a lot of different ways, so good job with that. The style is interesting. The flow is well done, but seems to stray in a few places.Emotion is defiantly present, as is your voice. All in all this is a fantastic piece, though I believe it could have been more personalized or unique. I like it but I gave it a 4/5

    It was depressingly beautiful. You evoke image really well and ibe was right, you do have the flow right. It was definitely a winner.

    The ending was a little abrupt, but that just put the thought of the question shooting through the readers mind. nicely done by the way. the flow was even and the words used were the perfect choice.

    nice work.
